Two bodies recovered - no leakages from grounded Dali

Thu Mar 28 09:32:21 CET 2024 Timsen

Divers recovered the bodies of two of the six missing workers who fell into the icy Patapsco Riverin the night of March 27, the 35-year-old Alejandro Hernandez Fuentes and the 26-year-old Dorlian Ronial Castillo Cabrera. They were recovered from a red pickup truck submerged in about 7.62 meters of water near the bridge’s middle span. They were on a break and some were sitting in their trucks to warm up when the bridge collapsed. It was no longer safe for divers to continue operations in the area after having exhausted all search efforts in the areas around this wreckage. Based on sonar scans, it was firmly believed that the vehicles were encased in the superstructure and concrete. The six construction workers who were presumed dead were from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador. Under the weight of the bridge's rubble, the bow of the 'Dali' lies on the bottom, but nothing seemed to be leaking. There were still more than 5.5 million liters of lubricating and fuel oil on board, plus 4,700 containers, 56 of which contained hazardous substances including corrosives, flammables and lithium ion batteries. 13 containers were damaged, two fell overboard. All containers with hazardous substances were safe. Some containers were breached and a sheen there was a sheen in the water. The voyage data recorder has been recovered and helped to establish a timeline of events. The ship had departed from Seagirt Marine Terminal at around 12.39 a.m. and had entered the Fort McHenry Channel at 1.07 a.m., before numerous audible alarms were recorded on the audio from the ship's bridge at 1.24 a.m. At about the same time, the data stopped recording, though it resumed shortly after tapping into a redundant power source. At 1.26 a.m., the pilot made a high frequency radio call for tugs to assist. He later dropped the port anchor and made another radio call at 1.27 a.m., reporting the ship had lost all power and was approaching the bridge. The ship's speed over ground was recorded at around 12.9 kph before it collided with the bridge's support pylon at 1.29 a.m. The data included GPS coordinates, audio, rudder feedback, rudder commands, as well as snapshots of the radar and electronic chart, but the VDR did not record information about engineering, like the temperature of each cylinder, and power distribution censors. The investigation could take 12 to 24 months. The NTSB will not hesitate to issue urgent safety recommendations during that time. A preliminary report should be released in two to four weeks. The Singapore port authorities have confirmed that the ship was in good condition in terms of its structural integrity and "operation of the ship's equipment". In 2023, the ship passed two inspections, and a defective fuel pressure gauge was repaired. Investigators from the Singapore Ministry of Transport's Inspection Service were on their way to Baltimore to assist the US Coast Guard. The authorities had been informed that the ship was going to undergo routine engine maintenance during the port stay, but were not informed of any problems. The accident could cost insurers billions of dollars in claims, analysts say, with one putting it at as much as US$4-billion, which would make the tragedy a record shipping insurance loss. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in the Baltimore District has activated its emergency operations center, clearing the way for more than 1,100 engineering, construction, contracting and operations specialists to provide support to local, state and federal agencies following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge on March 26. The USACE will lead the effort to clear the channel as part of the larger interagency recovery effort to restore operations at the Port of Baltimore. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is working together with local, state, and federal partners to determine the key actions required to remove the bridge. The USACE is providing certified underwater assessment capabilities by structural professional engineers, remotely operated vehicle and sonar. In addition to underwater assessments, the USACE is providing structural engineering support, including certified bridge safety inspectors and urban search and rescue structural technical specialists. This support also encompasses waterway debris management, led by USACE debris removal vessel 'Reynolds', which patrols the waters of the Baltimore Harbor and Patapsco River for drift and debris that could be hazardous to navigation. The USACE is also poised to provide to the joint response hydrographic and topographic surveying via the CATLETT, a 61-foot survey vessel that actively supports the Baltimore district’s navigation branch, whilst additional USACE vessels were prepared to join efforts as needed for waterway debris management.

Bridge collapse will have limited impact on economy

Thu Mar 28 09:24:19 CET 2024 Timsen

The allision of the 'Dali' with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore was expected to have a limited but significant impact on the local port and shipping operations. The effect on the overall US economy was expected to be remaining relatively limited. About a dozen large ships have been trapped in Baltimore port along with a similar number of tugs and workboats. Another 30 vessels were signalling their destination as Baltimore, one of the smaller US container ports, ranking around no. 11, which handled about 265,000 TEUs in the fourth quarter of 2023. These can be redirected to other ports along the US east coast, although such a necessary move may lead to short-term congestion and delays in those ports. The port is important for the handling of specialised cargo and bulk handling, including motor vehicles and oil. In 2023 Baltimore handled approximately 850,000 motor vehicles, all types. Baltimore is particularly important for the handling of farm and construction machinery, automobiles, imported forest products, imported sugar, imported gypsum, and exported coal. No estimates have been given so far for the clearing of debris obstructing the channel and preventing access to the port. President Biden intimated on March 26 that federal funding would be available for the rebuilding of the bridge, but first it was necessary to clear the channel of all obstacles. Much of the debris can possibly be dragged away from the channel in relatively short time, allowing trapped ships to depart the port and others to enter. Meanwhile, enquiries into the cause of the ship’s failure to navigate safely have commenced. The accident site was being treated as a crime scene.

Six construction workers presumed dead in bridge collapse

Wed Mar 27 09:12:59 CET 2024 Timsen

The rescue workers have stopped searching for six missing people after the allision of the 'Dali' with the Francis-Scott-Key-Bridge in the evening of March 26. The US Coast Guard announced in the evening that it was ceasing the active search for survivors. Given the water temperature, it was no longer expected that anyone would be found alive after so many hours. The Coast Guarddid not want to risk the health of rescue forces because of the dangerous currents and debris in the water. After the accident, police and rescue forces had searched for several missing people from the air and in the water for many hours. Divers and infrared and sonar technology were also used. The six missing people were part of a construction crew of Brawner Builders that was tasked with filling potholes on the bridge on the night of the accident. Two of them were Guatemalan citizens. The employees were working in the middle of the bridge when it collapsed. The missing people were just taking a break and some were sitting in their trucks The container ship had left the port with tug assistance and was then heading outward with a speed of about eight knots, when it suffered a blackout and slowly veered off course. The pilot then did everything he could have done to both slow the ship and prevent it from drifting to the right towards the bridge. The pilot quickly gave a series of orders, calling for a hard rudder to port sode and for an anchor to be dropped. The vessel's lights were going off and on again, likely due to an emergency generator activating after the initial blackout, but the ship's engines never restarted. The 'Dali' was without engine power when it hit the bridge. As a result of the momentary loss of power, it was unable to maintain the desired course. The attempts to reduce speed in the last moment were in vain, so that the ship continued to divert to starboard side due to the rudder position and the loss of manoeverability. It issued a distress call which prevented the worst as the bridge could be barred for traffic ahead of the collapse, keeping many people from plunging into the depth. However, there was no chance for the construction workes to escape when the 47 year old bridge collapsed into the 16 meters deep water. Video: https://twitter.com/i/status/1772837527478772147
